Come on out. Spin around.
Come and play with me;
there is so much to see.
After our life-long game of Hide and
Seek,
I am remembering me.
Come on out. It's all right.
Come and talk with me;
tell me of all that you fear.
I will hold you and love you and let you
know
I have room for all of your tears.
Come on out. Take my hand.
Come and walk with me;
let's see what we can find.
I want to feel all the moments that
you have held
in dreams and memories I left behind.
Come on out. Spin around.
Come and play with me;
For now, our hard work is done.
So, together we'll adventure through both then
and now,
remembering how to have fun!
Today is my fortieth
birthday,
and as it comes to a close
in mind I am scanning far
horizons,
while reflecting in calm
repose.
I know not what I expected--
what likely homage might be
due--
But it's really captured my
surprise,
this sudden panoramic view!
I welcome ways my path is
heading,
while curious in view of
paths I past.
I'm trading in excited hype
for serenities that last.
My youth was much in upward
climbs;
steep to rewarded goals;
now I'm looking forward to
equal downslides of my
rainbow.
No highlights in my greying
hair,
no tucking this or that--
Hell, I walk with canes
anyway,
and I adore a fancy hat!
For I embrace the sacred
aged,
and the venerability of
"old;"
the peace of Spirit's wisdom
beyond endless pots of gold.
May I be useful to our
youthful
and as my coming years
unwind.
may my dearest loves be
truthful;
on approach, may Death be
kind.
